T0 @ZZ whom, t may concern: p

Be it known that I, CHARLES T. KAFFEN- BERGER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Yonkers, county of Westchester, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lap- Robes, of which the following is a specifica tion.

My invention relates to laprobes, and more particularly to lap-robes for childrens carrages.

I will describe a lap-robe and a modification thereof embodying my invention and then point out the novel features thereof in a claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a rear view of a lap-robe embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is a rear View of a modified form of lap-robe embodying my invention. Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the saine. l

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views.

A represents a suitable body portion of cloth or other similar material, and A a wool or other facing Which may be secured to the body.

B represents a pocket at one end of the body portion, which is formed by turning an i end of the body portion back on itself and stitching the edges of the bent portion to the longitudinal edges h of the body portion.

Referring now to Fig.' l, the body portion A is of such a length as to cover the back of a seat. The part c of the body portion is for that purpose, and the part c is designed to The application of the lap-robe is as foli lows: It is placed upon the seat and back of a carriage with the faced side uppermost. The devices care unfastened, so as to permit of the feet of a person being inserted in the pocket B and Vto bring the part c. over the lap. The devices may then be fastened. In the form shown inFig. 3 the feet are placed in the pocket B and `the part ct' drawn over the lap. A ribbon D is attached to the body A for holding the lap-robe in place.

The lap-robe is designed for use in connection with childrens carriages and go-carts.

What I claim as my invention is-- As an improved article of manufacture a robe for childrens carriages comprising a suitable body having a slit or opening formed therein through which the child is inserted, and a foot-pocket at one end thereof, said slit or opening being so arranged in the body portion that a portion of the body Will be at the childs back and another portion over the childs lap.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
